By sainthood i mean those dead and deceased people who would be cultural heros to aspies, and presumably aspie/autie in themselves.

I nominate Edward Lear, Reverend William Archibald Spooner, William James Sidis (check him out!) and Lewis Carroll.

It is preferable that you suggest people who were born before modern vaccinations. Let us catalog the autistic like traits of humanity. Their lives can be testimonials that refute the claims of the curebies and vaccine adherents. Autism is a facet of humanity.

Mine is Vincent Van Gogh. I don't know if he was Autistic, but he lived a life similar to mine.

Thats interesting Maditude, your suggestion is a man who, very colorful as he was, is certainly far less of an oddball than the characters Greentea and I suggested. He was a great great man.

Of what autistic traits draws him forth for you? I must be overlooking something! Great suggestion. Hes a great role model for aspies.
